frogboy7 Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 its prolly been discussed before but how would i go about creating an ability for say a dragon that allows it to swallow an enemy whole? my gut says a form of entangle but beyond that im stumped. Could someone please drop some advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
culhwch Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Re: Swallow whole power anyone? the 5E Bestiary has rules for swallowing whole and I'm sure the 6E Bestiary does as well. Basically, big creature does a Grab with it's mouth, and if the grabbed creature is small enough, it can be swallowed. Swallowed creature takes damage while inside the other creature.

Christopher Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Re: Swallow whole power anyone? D&D types swallowing, where you have to cut your way out but don't damage the creature in the process: Entangle that does not restricts Foci (or only not small). And a linked/limited Acid and Crushing Damage attack from the digestion process (APG has rules for Additional SFX, so you don't need a compound power here). When limited to one person at a time, you could even make it as a multipower. No idea about the limitations value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Re: Swallow whole power anyone? About "Additional SFX" (APG 138): Depending on where acid and crushign damage are (how common), this could be up to a 3/4 advantage. And the attack only deals damage once, against the weakest defense (not nessesary using the SFX with the highest damage after defenses and vulnerabilites). Trigger: The acid and crushing damage of the digestion process will need trigger, with autoreset. Otherwise digesting will require a attack action and/or stop when th dragon is K.O.. This naturally will cost a lot of points (but it is an attack that costs not action on the dragon, so that is only fair). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Long Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Re: Swallow whole power anyone? how would i go about creating an ability for say a dragon that allows it to swallow an enemy whole? Use the rules on HSB 40-41. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
